## Description

Korean Air Cargo anchors Incheon International Airport (ICN, RKSI) near Seoul, operating a dedicated Terminal 1 rated for up to 1.43 million tonnes of freight per year. South Korea's main gateway handled roughly 2.95 million tonnes of air cargo in 2025, placing it among the world's three busiest cargo airports. Cargolux and a range of other international carriers also operate scheduled freighter services alongside Korean Air. A fourth runway, opened in June 2024, added theoretical capacity for about 450,000 additional tonnes annually. Round-the-clock customs clearance runs through Korea's UNI-PASS electronic system, letting time-sensitive shipments move with minimal delay. Rising e-commerce volumes from Chinese platforms such as Cainiao and Temu are expected to push express air cargo up by roughly 18% in 2026. Incheon commands about 24% of Asia-North America air cargo and 18% of Asia-Europe traffic. Domestic connections run through Gimpo Airport, while Shanghai Pudong and Tokyo Narita serve as alternative regional freight hubs for onward routing. Extensive expressway and rail links connect the cargo terminals to greater Seoul and its industrial belt.
